Contemporary Carioca, de Frederick Moehn

Abstract

In the 1990s, in the South Zone of Rio de Janeiro, a music scene emerged with the collaborative performance of a group of composers / performers who shared some aesthetic assumptions that distinguished them
in relation to other previous or contemporary sounds. Among these musicians, from Rio de Janeiro or from other parts of the country, but living in Rio, who managed to achieve national projection and become influential in their generation, are Marcos Suzano, Lenine, Pedro Luiz and Parede, Fernanda Abreu and Paulinho Moska,
whose work is at the center of the study by the American ethnomusicologist Frederick Moehn, currently a professor in the Music course at King’s College London.
